Makaraka Cemetery, Markaraka, Gisborne City, Gisborne, New Zealand
Notes: Makaraka or Houhoupiko Cemetery was Gisborne’s first main public cemetery. The land was bought in 1857 from Maori owners and the first burial was that of T. Uren’s in 1860. Houhoupiko is the stream that crosses the land into Taruheru River. The cemetery is historically significant with most of the area’s European pioneers and many local Maori families buried here. In 1916, the year after the current Taruheru cemetery opened, Makaraka cemetery was closed to burials, except for the immediate family of those already buried there.
